Nanoplasmonics Reveal Ionic‐Strength‐Driven Hydration of Nanoparticles

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is modulated by ionic‐strength‐dependent hydration shell compression. A predictive model connects shell thickness to non‐radiative damping and spectral shifts over seven orders of magnitude.

Ion‐Selective Microporous Membranes via One‐Step Copolymerization Enable High‐Performance Redox Flow Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable one‐step copolymerization strategy is developed to produce low‐cost microporous ion exchange membranes that boost both the efficiency and lifespan of flow batteries. When combined with organic electrolytes in aqueous systems, these membranes enable safe and cheap flow battery energy storage, supporting the widespread integration of renewable

Empirical challenges in assessing the “leaky STEM pipeline”: how the research design affects the measurement of women’s underrepresentation in STEM

open access: yesInternational Journal of STEM Education
Background Despite a well-documented underrepresentation of women in STEM majors and occupations, empirical evidence on whether there really is a “leaky STEM pipeline” is mixed due to a lack of methodological consistency.
